Something to Snack On.

A quick slice of pizza, a shake or smoothie, a baked good – your consumers are always looking for something to snack on, now more than ever. In fact, 33% of consumers are having snacks more often than they were a year ago¹ – and that number is only growing. Snacks are for any time of day – a daily indulgence, an afternoon pick-me-up or even a meal replacement.  

SNACKABLE SOLUTIONS

The convenience store of today is so much more. It’s an answer for hectic mornings that leave your consumers no time to make breakfast. For a quick lunch and a sweet pick-me-up to fuel the afternoon. For a convenient, hot dinner on the way home that everyone in the family will enjoy. And for all the cravings in between and beyond.

CONSIDER BEVERAGES SNACKS, TOO.

Beverages have become a snacking mega trend.¹ Shakes, smoothies, sodas, refreshers – beverages meet snack cravings on their own or paired with a treat (56% of consumers’ last snacks were had with a beverage other than water¹). Market your beverages as snacks, or offer a snack and beverage bundle promotion to increase purchase totals!

POWER UP PIZZA, BY THE SLICE.

Your consumers love to snack on pizza – morning, afternoon and into the late night. 52% of Gen Z is likely to order a slice of pizza as a snack outside of regular meals.¹ Be sure to have slices warm and ready to go all times of the day! 

MEET COOKIE CRAVINGS.

Cookie sales in c-stores surged 19.2% last year, and are expected to rise even more in 2024.² And cookies make for sweet snacks, before and after lunch! Make sure your cookie display is stocked and ready at any time. 

KEEP SNACKS HANDY TO GRAB AND GO.

Indulgent snacks that are conveniently ready to go right now and easy to eat quickly on the go in or in the car can inspire impulse buys and increase total purchases. Importantly, schedule in an afternoon restock for your donuts and baked goods, and grab ‘n go cooler: More than half of consumers’ last snacks were enjoyed after 1pm.¹
